- Kate is like any other mom when it comes to her kids’ sporting events
- She is often cheering her son on at his school soccer and rugby matches
- The Real Housewives of London star Panthea Parker spoke about it
She may be a royal, but Kate Middleton is like any other mom when it comes to her kids’ sporting events.
Despite her busy schedule, one of Kate’s fellow school moms has revealed that she is often cheering her son on at his school soccer and rugby matches.
The Real Housewives of London star Panthea Parker spoke about it to Hello! Magazine during a recent interview.
‘I see her quite a few times because my son’s school plays against her son’s school,’ the TV star shared.
‘They play rugby and football against each other so we’re always at her school or my school. I do see her a lot but not to talk to, just from afar.’
Panthea went on to praise the Princess of Wales for being there to support her kids while also managing her immense royal commitments.
‘[She’s] so classy, so lovely, and she never misses any of her children’s matches, so really amazing,’ she gushed. ‘And nor do I, otherwise how do I know that?’
Panthea has three kids with her husband, Ed Parker, aged 11, nine, and eight; she also has a son, 30, from a past marriage.
She didn’t specify which of Kate and Prince William’s kids she was referring to; the couple are parents to sons Prince George, 12, and Prince Louis, seven, as well as daughter Princess Charlotte, ten.
It comes after news hit the web that the couple were looking to move their family from Adelaide Cottage into an eight-bedroom Forest Lodge property in Windsor Great Park.
An insider told the BBC that they will be relocating to the ‘forever home’ by the end of the year, and are hoping for a ‘fresh start’ after a difficult time at Adelaide Cottage, during which Queen Elizabeth died and Kate and King Charles received cancer diagnoses.
With its chandelier-lit ballroom, tennis court and extensive grounds, Forest Lodge is a considerable upgrade from the cozy four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage where the prince and princess and their young family have lived for the last three years.
Renovations are reportedly underway at the property to enable it to be ready for the family to move in before the end of the year.
A source close to the family said: ‘Windsor has become their home. However, over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times.
‘Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter, an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind.’
The Waleses’ move will be a short one from their current main home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, and the children attend nearby Lambrook School.
The home offers spectacular views, and soccer fan William will be able to see the Wembley Arch from his bedroom window.
The family first moved to Windsor in 2022, where they settled at the humble Adelaide Cottage a short walk away.
It is believed the move out of London was to allow the family to be closer to the late Queen and to give the children a more ordinary way of life with more privacy.
Adelaide Cottage also provided a private and tranquil setting for Kate’s recovery from chemotherapy after she was diagnosed with cancer last year.
The family has no live-in staff at their current home and this is also reportedly set to be the case once they move into a bigger abode.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson told the Daily Mail: ‘The Wales family will move house later this year.’
